Interpersonal conflict, life transition, and anxiety support for teens and young adults through individual and group therapy offerings.

I have worked in mental health for over 30 years with all sorts of clients and issues and continue to love to work with diverse issues at all stages of life. I believe that most emotional/mental health issues we face are understandable and, with awareness, intention and support, treatable. I specialize in couple's therapy and family therapy, using the most current techniques in relationship counseling. EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) systematically addresses deep relationship issues and empowers profound and lasting change. Therapy with me begins from a place of curiosity. Through conversation in a safe, nonjudgmental environment, we explore what brought you here and where you want to go.

Psychotherapy is a powerful and transformative process. I love being on that journey with my clients, helping them to understand themselves more deeply and respond to life's challenges with more awareness.

Therapy can help you to:

~develop more authentic communication, healthier relationships, more satisfying work, school, and family life, and greater self-confidence.

~expand your range of emotions, while learning to understand and accept your states of mind with less fear and judgement.

~find balance in your life, taking care of yourself and others, and working with the stuck places to find more freedom to express yourself.

I offer psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and couples, with a transpersonal/psychodynamic approach.
